The examination room is located in the south of Ningcheng, close to the imperial palace, is a deep mansion compound, the plaque is pitch black, the font is strong and powerful, gilded, and the cardinal. The outside of the house was guarded by officers and soldiers, and the guards were very strong.

When they first saw their carriage in a small open space a few feet away from the Privy Council, they were stopped by officers and soldiers, who were not allowed to continue their journey, and after careful questioning, they learned that the venue was being cleared, and all candidates had to be checked and registered before they could enter the Privy Council.

Directly in front, a row of tables was opened, and there were several middle-aged men dressed in official uniforms, who should be examiners, and they were registering the candidates.

The crowd surged, and several long dragons saw sweat on their backs for the first time.

"There are so many of them, I don't know when it will be your turn." Chu Jian turned his head to look at Cui Ziyin, and when he saw the suppressed excitement in his eyes, he smiled.

"There are many more candidates this year than in the past, and it is a good thing that the country has doubled its talents." Cui Ziyin straightened his chest, and his confidence suddenly appeared, he had confidence in himself, and the more competitors he had, the easier it was to get ahead.

"Liufu, you line up for Cui Gongzi, call when it's your turn, we'll wait at the inn next to you." At first sight, I saw an inn next to it, and a green bamboo outside the door hung white cloth and black letters, and I came to the inn again.

The inn has a really interesting name.

Cui Ziyin looked up at the fierce sun, his skin was a little red when he saw it for the first time, and he felt a little distressed and guilty, he was so excited that he was about to take the exam, forgetting that he still had an injury to his foot when he saw it for the first time. "Well, that's fine."

The inn is poorly furnished, not to mention whether there will be anyone here to sharpen, just these four square tables and benches, the counter wine tank, there is not even a greeting Xiao Er, only a man in a blue cloth shirt is napping behind the counter.

It's bustling outside, but this inn is full of people, which is really weird.

"There is no hospitality in our store, so please take care of the guest." The man in the blue cloth lazily lifted his eyelashes, glanced at them for the first time, and then continued to close his eyes, and soon there was a snoring.

When I first saw Cui Ziyin, I looked at the man in amazement, and I didn't even do any business that was sent to the door, no wonder this inn was very deserted.

"It's more convenient to greet yourself, let's sit down." Chu Jian raised his lips and smiled, found a place by the window and sat down, and saw the situation outside clearly.

Cui Ziyin smiled bitterly, this Ningcheng is full of strange people and strange things.

Sitting opposite Chujian, Cui Ziyin smiled shyly at Chujian, "Thank you." ”

Chu Jian turned his gaze from the window to Cui Ziyin, and looked at him in amazement, "Thank you for what I did?" ”

Cui Ziyin shook her head, "A lot." "From the time she saved him in the hands of that bandit man to the time she took him in in the Jade Mansion, what kind of grace did she give him was a life-saving grace? She taught him one thing that he would remember for the rest of his life.

Happiness is earned by oneself.

This was what she had said to him, and when he first saw her, she murmured like a sigh, and though she spoke quietly, he heard it.

Chu Jian smiled slightly, and didn't take Cui Ziyin's words to heart, in her opinion, she didn't help him anything.

"It's almost spring." Through the window lattice, looking at the white clouds, I sighed at first sight.

Cui Ziyin silently picked up the pear-shaped white porcelain teacup, looked out the window along the line of sight at first sight, and felt a comfortable mood.

Lingyu and Cuiyu stood aside, also silent.

A moment later, a young man dressed in brocade walked in, followed by two servants, who sat at the table behind them at first sight, who humbly poured him tea and water, and said some flattering words.

After listening to their words at first sight, it turned out that this young man was also a candidate, and seeing his rich figure, moist complexion, and bright clothes, he must be a rich son, but his attitude towards those two little guys was really arrogant and tiresome.

"The son is only eight buckets tall, full of economy, and he will definitely be high school in the future, and the younger one will be here to congratulate the son." Whether modern or ancient, the sycophant effect is perpetuated.

"That's that, our son's talent is the best in Quanning City, and the champion is naturally the son." The sycophants were getting louder and louder, and the two little guys held the young man up to the sky with a word of you and me.

Cui Ziyin's eyebrows flew, and he lowered his voice and whispered, "Ningcheng is really full of talents. ”

At first sight, she didn't think so, she saw that although the rich man's belly was large, it was not necessarily ink.

Just thinking about it, the rich boy immediately confirmed the disapproval of the first meeting, "Everything is based on silver, even if this son is not a high eight bucket?" The examination is just a formality, even if those examiners don't give face to my father, they will give face to Uncle Yin, hahaha. ”

Cui Ziyin clenched her fists, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she held back her anger.

When I first saw the three masters and servants, I looked at the three masters and servants coldly, and there was a faint and sarcastic smile on my lips.

Just when the rich boy was still loudly proclaiming how rich his family was, he would be a tanhua even if he was not the champion in this exam, and what if he laughed at the thousands of candidates outside who had studied hard for ten years? In the end, it's not the same as a poor scholar, without white money, and in the big talent, he can only hide in his belly and swallow bitterly alone.

Just as the rich boy was talking, a few more people walked in outside the door, and when they first saw their eyes swept away, they were stunned for a moment, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, but they didn't know what they were hiding.

At first sight, he looked at those people carefully from the corner of his eyes, there were four of them, two of them were equipped with long swords, hanging from their waists, and they were dressed as guards, and one of them was known at first sight, his name was Li Weicheng, and he was in Qi Zhen's mansion.

Therefore, the two people who are dressed in brocade clothes have an extraordinary temperament, naturally one of them is Qi Zhen, and the other man has some facial features similar to Qi Zhen, who looks a few years older than Qi Zhen, but he doesn't know who it is, but he looks at Qi Zhen's attitude towards him naturally and is a little restrained, and he is afraid that he is also a great character.

After Qi Zhen and them came in, the innkeeper opened his eyes and grinned at Qi Zhen, and only saw the shopkeeper's appearance clearly at this time, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a bright smile, handsome and cute, and a sunny boy.

As if noticing the sight of Hatsumi, Qi Ji looked back, Hatsumi quickly lowered his head, holding a teacup and drinking tea, his whole face was almost against the table.

His lips unconsciously raised, but when he heard the still arrogant and domineering rich boy still pointing out the loud insults of the candidates who were queuing up into the examination room with the sun on their heads, a look of disgust surged in his eyes.

The boy sitting next to him also heard it, sneered on his lips, and didn't know what to say in Qi Zhen's ear, Qi Zhen glanced at him and shook his head.

Cui Ziyin still had a calm face, very impatient with the man behind him who was still making nonsense, and was about to stand up to refute, but he was held down by Chu Jian and said in a low voice, "This kind of villain, it's not our turn to make a move, don't worry, he won't be able to win the champion Tanhua." ”

Cui Ziyin was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

I glanced at Qi Zhen's table at first sight, "Guess"

She didn't ignore the disgust in Qi Zhen's eyes for the rich son, this prince announced so openly that someone in the court had embezzled and collected money for him to pass the test, and I believed that Qi Zhen, as the prince, would not stand idly by.
